“Ram & I took a call very early in our marriage to storing our eggs,” says Upasana Kamineni

About the decision on freezing her eggs

“Ram and I took a call very early in our marriage when it comes to storing our eggs. We definitely believed that for various reasons we need to focus on our careers at that point of time. Today, both of us are at a stable place where we can afford to take care of the child. With the income we are generating by ourselves, we can give our child that lifestyle and stability,” she said while talking to a news portal. 

Importance of a father in a marriage

Upasana also spoke about people talking about their inheritance and how that affects their children. She commented that “People might say that we are inheriting so much, but at the end of the day, what we keep for our child, what we earn, has to make sense. We didn’t let anything in the way of our thoughts. I think that is something I respect a lot in our relationship. Our parents worked hard to make sure that we live this kind of life, but they also taught us the values. So our children will also have to work hard in order to get what we give them and also respect it. We are going to instill values and that responsibility has to be on their shoulders”.

Upasana believes a father is equal to a mother in these times. She stated that Ram Charan has been supportive and attentive throughout the process. She said, “I think in my life right now a father is equally a mother. Though he is not carrying the child but he is monitoring the child as much and coming with me to the doctor, monitoring my diet. I think having those tough conversations in the beginning has made the journey much smoother and I know that the child will have a great upbringing. With that confidence, I can say, that a father should be given enough importance as a mother”.

Upasana Kamineni is an entrepreneur and a social activist. Yesterday, on the occasion of Mother’s Day she took to her Instagram and shared a post. The post read, “I am proud to embrace motherhood for all the right reasons. I did not do it to conform to society’s expectations or to fit.  My decision to become a mother was not driven by a desire to carry on a legacy or to strengthen my marriage. I chose to have a child when I was emotionally prepared to give unconditional love & care that my child deserves for his/her overall well-being”.
